7.) March Engineering 711

For the 1971 F1 season, March's Frank Costin came up with a new front wing design called "Spitfire." The car took no wins, but Ronnie Petterson finished second on four occasions with it, making the team the runner-up.

5.) Chaparral 2H

The 2H was not designed to run that wing. Initially, the car ran sans wing. But, the 2H could not generate the downforce needed to be competitive on the tracks of North America. When it raced at Laguna Seca in 1969, the ginormous wing was somewhat opposite of why the car was designed in the first place: to provide a small frontal area and allow higher top speeds. But, you cannot fault Jim Hall for thinking outside of the box. In a way, his cars were more of a test bed for Chevrolet Research and Development than a more traditional car that could win a Can Am championship like the McLarens did. And, you cannot argue with the fact that Jim Hall championed the cause of aerodynamic downforce and gave a lesson to everyone else in the motorsports world about this. Even Colin Chapman was forced to examine the Chaparrals and in 1968, his Lotus 49's had high mounted wings on spindly supports which of course, buckled and twisted.
